Comment on Popular porn sites now display unproven health warnings thanks to Texas law

This warning should be required for all social media sites every time you open any webpage or app.
While they’re at it they could add “potential to cause spontaneous human combustion” or “potentially damaging to time-space continuum.” Potentially. I’m no porn fan, but my understanding is the evidence on the addictiveness claims is super weak.
The causal arrow between porn and the brain development thing could easily go either way. It’s hard to tell.
Surely porn is known to California to cause cancer.
It must, that label is on everything, so it effectively means nothing. This exchange happened between my wife and I a couple months ago
‘oh honey look…this pink Himalayan salt, which expires in…2 weeks?!? is known to the state of cancer to cause California. Ah, science. What a time to be alive’
The amount of lead in Himalayan salt (it’s mined from mountains in Pakistan) can be above allowed limits, and especially can cause developmental issues in children. Europe has same or possibly more stringent lead expectations.
I guess the two takes could be “ugh California has warnings on everything so it’s meaningless” or “wow, FDA really doesn’t give a fuck and allows all this stuff to go unchecked”
What if the label itself is what causes cancer?!?
Don’t forget the reproductive harm!
Shhh don’t give them any ideas!
I mean, there’s such a thing as being addicted to porn. I fall to see how you get such an addiction without looking at it
Yes, but there’s such a thing as being addicted to sex, too, and pretty much any pleasurable activity. It’s generally pretty rare.
Causation vs. Correlation. Porn addicts have obviously watched porn. But that doesn’t mean that watching porn causes porn addiction.
It’s like saying drug addicts have obviously used drugs, but it’s only correlated to their addiction
Please don’t the 17 attempts for me to surrender my cookies are already exhausting my willingness to use the web.
These popups are worse than the actual pop-up ads - at least those were in separate windows or tabs and so could be closed easily with keyboard shortcuts.
I often decline their cookie bull, they’ll just keep asking with every new page i load from that website. Preferably with a pop-up that covers 2/3rd of the screen.
I think but haven’t done any proper investigations, that some sites only store your cookie response if you accept a certain kind of cookies. Basically every site now divides cookies up into functional, optimisation and marketing, and I have at least observed:
Today’s Internet is so much worse than the Internet a decade ago… Exponentially higher speeds, yet everything runs way slower and you have to dig for anything you want out of a sea of that
All this on news sites and when you refuse everything you get into a paywall

Bible should have a schizophrenia warning on it.
